Will, You did the oil change right, but left out 8 ounces of needed oil. After you added some more you are now closer to the correct 4 quarts needed with a filter change (Maintenance Instructions book page 74) refill takes 4 Quarts with filter or 3.75 Liters, that could be the confusion. I read and ...

I got 38 mpg when my cat code plug was disconnected, now I get 42 mpg with the Yellow cat code plug in place. I ride it like I stole it most of the time, my average commute is 6 miles fast (40-45mph) roads, 7 miles at 75 mph on fwy. tires cost more, fuel costs less, insurance is only 10% of what my ...

do you need to replace any gaskets if you remove the pipes for polishing?

Looks great!

If you have pulled the clutch disc out and looked at the trans splines, how deep do the splines go into the clutch hub? I have read they are about 5mm shy of complete engagement, causing some trouble. ABC puts in a custom disc he says costs $600. to correct this, I am wondering if there are any opti...

I would try:

New battery

2 gals new fuel

see what happens!

My LT had been sitting a few years WITH fuel in it, so it needed old fuel drained, a new fuel pump /filter and battery to get running.... no injectors.

I find too many different answers when I try to look these things up.

I have NO abs, with BMW brake calipers front and rear. Has any body install speed bleeders here that can share part numbers?

I think the clutch will be a SB1010S, that answer stays the same, can anybody confirm?

Thanks!

My vote is for a split fuel line in the gas tank. any recent service history showing a fuel filter change? In any case it is a good time to change (or inspect) filter / hoses / o rings since this bike is new to you. beemerboneyard has filters / clamps / o rings, hoses are dealer only and about $60.0...

that looks like a bosch sensor connector, according to my Clymer manual it could be a tank breather valve with those wire colors

no reference where that might be... canister related?

How about a non abs r1150r?

I want to have everything ready, I ordered a fuel filter, clamps, strainer, access hole "O" rings for my R1150R. How much fuel line is in the tanks between the pump and filter, bmw parts shows two hoses, one straight, one curved.. but I need length to order the correct gates in tank hose.....

what should the idle speed be on a fully warmed up engine on my 2004 R1150R?

Thanks for the word "manometer" that opened up a whole new slew of search results.

I like the one with two glass jars, the youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PiQBr20kM8

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8396/8647580446_f739c981dc.jpg I love the Odyssey batteries, the PC680 I got off ebay came with the brass "L" adapters, I only used one. The PC680 replaced an overfilled Yuasa wet battery, that messy thing had to go! I Keep them fully charged and have 8 years...

How about a picture of your set up ??

do you find the results reliable?

I may just buy one from beemer boneyard... but has anybody made one?

I like the cut off look, just don't like the stripe up my back when I hit a puddle.

What are holes there for in the first place ??

The two holes below license plate in a vertical row?

What have others done to use / hide ??
